# 13 Tagging, Folksonomies...Del.icio.us

I could definitely see the potential for research with this site. Within the Duval library system this would save re-inventing the wheel. Someone is working on a project that another Librarian researched 3 months ago. They could say go in to our account at Del.icio.us and pull some of the stuff I found. Now the only draw back is that to me you would need to know what tag they put it under. Everyone has there own way of looking at their info. and they might have it in a tag you would never have put it under.
Yes many of the tags did look familiar to me as they were things we have covered during this class. I even found a fun Flickr slide show on librarians.
